a new announcement would only make sense for those, who totally slept 
the whole time.
the majority of users sticking with initscripts does not do that because 
of lack of interest in systemd.
my vserver hoster (netcup.de, german provider) does not provide an 
up-to-date kernel and, although first made aware of the upcoming change 
in september, now begins beta testing a new virtualization (kvm, linux 
vserver before). its still some time (up to two month) until i can 
finally migrate to systemd.
i would be very glad, if there was a sysvinit-scripts package for the 
time beeing.
thanks for considering.
